Artim Shaqiri: "Qarabag" and "Shkendija" have a 50/50 chance" - INTERVIEW

Interview with Artim Shaqiri, former football player of "Qarabag", former captain of the North Macedonian national team, and former head coach of "Shkendija", to Sportal.az

- "Qarabag" will face "Shkendija" in the 3rd qualifying round of the Champions League. What do you think about this match? How do you assess the chances?

- This game will be interesting for both teams. We will see excellent games. The side that makes fewer mistakes will win. I think the chances are 50/50. It is very interesting to watch the game of these two teams.

- "Shkendija" defeated FKSB in both matches of the 2nd qualifying round. Was this unexpected for you?

- ⁠FKSB was the favorite of the pair and the games. But everything is different in modern football. In the current situation, the side that wants more, plays harder, and makes fewer mistakes wins. In my opinion, "Shkendija" deserved to advance to the next stage.

- Presumably, "Qarabag" will be the favorite. Do you think "Shkendija" can hinder "Qarabag", create problems?

- Yes, "Qarabag" is the favorite of this game. But as I said before, there are no favorites when you go out on the field. You just have to play to win. "Shkendija" can do a very good job. They showed it in the match with FKSB.

- What are the advantages and disadvantages of "Shkendija"?

- "Qarabag" has been playing in European cups and groups for many years. Of course, their experience gives "Qarabag" an advantage in these matches. But this is a matter before the game. On the field, 11 people play against 11 players. The one who wants more, makes fewer mistakes will pass the stage.

- Will you probably be at the stadium at the match in North Macedonia? Are you planning to meet with the "Qarabag" side before the game?

- If I am in North Macedonia, yes, I will watch the game from the stadium. Of course, I will also meet and visit my "Qarabag" friends before the match.
